The "Indian Mounds" are one of those mystifying things in our history that've been poorly preserved and studied because they simply don't fit in our "professionally accepted" (ethnologists, archeologists, etc) history...the sheer scope, the size and number are simply astounding...
We (Europeans) justified our occupation of this country partly on the basis that it was only occupied at the time by howling savages, and anything that hinted at organized cultures, especially if they seemed to pre-date ours (or, worse) seemed to have a preferable social system, was systematically ignored, ridiculed or destroyed.
It's left us with great gaps in the history of human development, and, with the forcing of square facts into the round holes of our "official history", a tortured view of what came before our society.
Don't misunderstand; the only way someone'll get my present share is to inherit it, or overcome us the way we overcame the "Indians". But in this case, it's a tragedy that so much was lost before enough time had passed to allow study to become acceptable.
